You may be able to get in at an electric utility, preferably public power or a co-op. They tend to need both low and high voltage electricians and engineers.

But it's not supposed to be literal!

(unless I say it is)

I think I vehemently disagree with you on principle, but it's a point I hadn't thought of before, so thank you for pointing out that perspective.

Microsoft makes its money from business and enterprise customers. Home users are a drop in the bucket.

Money from home users is from stealing data.

Yes, but also have you seen some game development forums? Oof. Some people just need their gaming chair hooked up to a sun facing launchpad.

On the one hand, those are some jackasses that should be fined. On the other hand the jackass caucus is going to be forever trying to use similar measures as a tool to interfere with the democratic process.

That image is very hard not to down vote.

And it's mind blowing that the two options are polling as close as they are.

Then don't be part of society is the root of that argument.

Don't want to be tracked? Don't use a phone. Or a car.

Don't want to support exploitative publishers? Don't read.

Can't afford rent?

Can't find a job?

It's all just blaming people for corporate bullshit.

How do you opt out? Stop texting and delete all messages?

Notepad is simple

Doesn't mean it's the best thing for documentation.

Actually... a readme file is probably better for documentation if you're really going for simple.

Ok, audiobook isn't the same as an ebook.

Spotify is absolute ass for audiobooks and podcasts. I wish there was something better for streaming, although one of these days I'll get around to self hosting. Maybe after retirement...

Anyway, for audiobooks I used "Voice Audiobook Player", it's free and open source, minimal permissions required.

For anyone wondering about podcasts, "Podcast Addict". It has too many menus and options, can be confusing, but still a million times better than Spotify. Once you have it set up the way you want those options are very nice. Still confusing at times though :D
